Gwen's first 5K Run

Today was Gwen's first 5k Run. It was called Run for a Wish. All the proceeds went to the Make A Wish Foundation for Southern Nevada. I was actually really excited about this run. I really wanted to see what time I could get since I've been running a mile and half 5 days a week. Well.. I don't think I did too bad. I ran it in 32 minutes, pushing a stroller, in the pouring rain. Yes, I did say POURING RAIN. It wasn't raining while we were waiting for the race to begin, but as we walked across the start line that's when God said we needed to make the race a bit more interesting for us. Gwen was great! She slept the entire time I ran. Luckily, I was a smart mommy and brought her an extra pair of clothes once we were done. She was dry, I was soaking wet, but enjoyed every minute of it. I am actually looking forward to my next one. Maybe even do a 1/2 marathon sometime this year. We'll see!!
